“Do” vs “Does” What’s The Difference?
This study suggests a direct effect of alcohol on calcium-regulated smooth muscle tone and is consistent with the observation that alcohol is a bronchodilator. This effect was partially reduced by histamine or the alpha-adrenergic blockade, but completed abolished by calcium channel blockade, suggesting a calcium flux mediated alcohol-triggered airway smooth muscle contraction in this model.

In addition to neutrophil recruitment to infected areas and reduced neutrophil-killing potential, production of these cells also is affected. In human studies, BACs as low as 0.2 percent (i.e., approximately 2.5 times the legal intoxication level) impaired neutrophil degranulation and bactericidal activity (Tamura et al. 1998). For example, Davis and colleagues (1991) found that alcohol-fed […]
